The microchemistry and magnetism of conventional and high-temperature Sm–Co permanent magnets are investigated by first-principles calculations. Particular emphasis is on the site preference for the substitution of Cu, Ti, and Zr in SmCo5 and Sm2Co17 compounds. Cu substitution is more favorable in the 1:5 phase, in ag…

We present the time resolved experimental characterization of the biaxial switching between two topologically distinct textures of a nematic liquid crystal cell submitted to a strong electric field. This fast electro-optical effect is governed by the electric induced order reconstruction in the nematic bulk, which is…

We have studied the optical property and electronic structure of an inorganic-organic quasi-one-dimensional crystal, methylviologen lead iodide. Two absorption bands were observed in the near ultraviolet and visible regions. The one is an absorption band at $3.1\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{eV}$ with a large osci…

Schottky barrier contacts have been formed by electron beam evaporation of Pd on the (0001¯)-face of hydrothermally grown n-type single-crystalline ZnO. The contacts can be operated under reverse bias voltages up to −5V and in the temperature range between 130 and 350K. A barrier height of 0.83eV is deducted at room t…

In this paper, the UV Raman spectra of a large number of saturated and alkyl-substituted monocyclic, bicyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are obtained at 220 and 233 nm excitation wavelengths. Also included are nitrogen- and sulphur-containing hydrocarbons. The spectra obtained are fluorescence free, even for…

We propose a novel formation method of arbitrary phase profiles of circular light by controlling azimuthal angles of liquid-crystal directors; its principle is described theoretically. A new liquid-crystal blazed grating is demonstrated by use of the proposed method. It is revealed that the first-order diffraction eff…
